This Frito corn salad is always requested by friends and family! Super easy and great alongside just about any main course. Quick tip: wait on adding Fritos until you're about to serve as they tend to get soggy after a few hours. -Mandy Mckinnon, North Canton, Ohio

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup milk
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
A few dashes hot sauce, or to taste
1 clove garlic, grated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 ears corn, shucked
3 heads green leaf lettuce, torn into chunks

Steps:

  • For the dressing: Mix together the mayonnaise, milk, sour cream, parsley, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, hot sauce, garlic and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Set aside.
